Slab.
Definition
The sealed plastic case a graded card comes in, with a label and certification number.
Slabs protect the card and lock in its grade. Most pack ripping platforms deal in slabs because they're easy to value and authenticate. The certification number on the label can be looked up on the grader's site.
